You
really think
that junks up a forum
the most?
More than all those unnecessary, born-out-of-lazyness new threads to begin with? Come on, you can't be serious! I agree it's not the most welcoming thing, but posts within a thread certainly do not junk up a forum as much as useless new threads - by a fair margin, I dare say. Also even when people immediately get the friendly answer they were looking for, the vast majority never show up again (not even to say thank you).
